## Cutesy Boot: Fun BIOS IMages

Just simply, I wasn't a huge fan of the current BIOS logos as my splash screen.<br>
So we decided to write a guide to change that!

We currently work well with Skulls (see this Github [PR](https://github.com/merge/skulls/pull/210)) but are hoping to expand support for many other projects such as OSBoot or LibreBoot.

## How to install

#### Skulls 

The current Skull docs are usually well documented on how to replace the splash screen.

Usually it just requires replacing the splashscreen.jpg with whatever image you want ( as long as it is also named splashscreen.jpg). 

Besides that, you can use ImageMagick or another tool tool.
* `mogrify logo.jpg -interlace none <splashscreen>`
* `mogrify logo.jpg -sampling-factor 4:2:0 <splashscreen>`
* `convert <splashscreen> -resize 1024x768! <splashscreen> # optional, but converts image size to match screen dimensions`

If you are using another tool, just make sure any 'progressive' modes are turned off and the subsampling is set to `4:2:0 (chroma quartered)`.

`ImageMagick` can also be used to convert images of another format into .jpg using the [convert](https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php) tool.

**Note**: replace `<splashscreen>` with the file name.
